4. Place the saw blade on to the arbor
29
making sure the teeth of the blade
2
point down
at the front of the table
1
. Assemble the clamp washer
28
and arbor nut to the arbor and
tighten arbor nut
27
as far as possible by hand, making sure that the saw blade is against
the inner flange and the clamp washer is against the blade. Ensure the largest diameter of
the clamp washer is against the blade. Ensure the arbor and clamp washer are free from dust
anddebris.
5. Use the open end of the wrench
19
to keep the arbor from rotating when tightening the
arbornut.
6. Using the other wrench, tighten the arbor nut
27
by turning itclockwise.
nOTE: Different types of blades make different kerfs (width of cuts). Therefore, it is necessary
to check adjustment of rip scale when changing blades. Replacement blade MUST not
exceed the thickness stated on the riving knife. The riving knife provided with the saw is .063"
(1.6mm)thick.

1. Raise the saw blade arbor to its maximumheight.
2. Loosen the riving knife lock knob
30
(minimum of three turns).
3. To disengage riving knife lock pin, push lock knob toward the riving knife as indicated by the
yellow arrows on theknob.
4. While pushing the lock knob, lift the riving knife out of the clamp. Then slide the blade guard
assembly into the clamp until it bottomsout.
WARNING: Do not insert both blade guard assembly and riving knife into the clamp at the
sametime.

WARNING: Before connecting the table saw to the power source or operating the saw,
always inspect the blade guard assembly and riving knife for proper alignment and
clearance with saw blade. Check alignment after each change of bevel angle.
WARNING: Confirm that the blade remains covered when the guard is lifted and released
from its highest (or deepest) cutting depth, and whenbeveled.
nOTE: DO NOT operate saw if riving knife lock pin is not locked into the blade guard or
rivingknife.
When properly aligned, the riving knife will be in line with the blade at both table top level, and
at the top of the blade. Using a straight edge, ensure that the blade
2
is aligned with the riving
knife
21
. Operate the blade tilt and height adjustments through the extremes of travel and
ensure the blade guard assembly clears the blade in all operations and that the anti-kickback
assembly isfunctioning.
Assembling the Rip Fence (Fig.F)
The rip fence can be installed in two positions on the right [position 1 for 0" to 20" (508mm)
ripping, and position 2 for 4" (102mm) to 24.5" (622mm) ripping and one position on the left of
your tablesaw.
1. Align the locator pins
31
on the fence rails with the slots
32
on each fenceend.
2. Place fence onto the rail as shown in FigureF maintaining pin and slot alignment on both
ends of thefence.
3. Secure the rip fence by snapping down the latches
17
to the rails. Be sure to snap both front
